Although we entered Aspire To Glory for a race at Kempton on Wednesday 22nd January, he would have to carry a 6lb penalty for winning at Lingfield last Sunday.

As such, it was more of a tentative entry, to give us the option, but a seven furlong 46-55 handicap at the same track on the 3rd February was still our first choice, and looks the most appealing. 

Having scanned through the declarations for the Wednesday race, there are a couple of pretty interesting handicap debutants who have been confirmed for the contest. With that in mind we've opted not to declare Aspire To Glory this week and will wait for Kempton on the February 3rd.
